Chapter 12

Author: Warm Cocoa
Yvonne stood there, dressed like a peacock in full display, her outfit dripping with gold and jewels, flaunting her wealth and superiority. Her voice carried an air of unrestrained arrogance.

“Well, well, if it isn’t Stellar Rivers, the illustrious representative of Riverside Corporation who just signed a deal with Brighton Group. What’s this? Picking up trash outside a school now?”

She smirked, lifting her foot to step on one of Stellar’s scattered books.

Ha! So, what if Percy didn’t like her? He was still going to obediently get engaged to her.

Every time Yvonne complained to her parents about her frustrations, they coddled her endlessly. Not only did they pressure her uncle to invest an extra two million dollars into her latest film, but they also arranged a dinner meeting with the Moore family tonight at an upscale restaurant to finalize the engagement date.

Stellar’s gaze turned cold as she looked up at Yvonne.

“Move.”

“And if I don’t? What can you do about it?” Yvonne sneered, to

  • As the Fake Heiress Rose to Power, the CEO Falls Apart   Chapter 779

    The Walsh family was massive—getting even half would still amount to over a hundred million. That would be more than enough for him to squander away for the rest of his life."You’ve got to be kidding me. Everything in the Walsh family was built by my ancestors. That’s my family’s legacy. Why should I give you a share?" Slyvia rejected him furiously."Because that’s what the law says. Any assets gained after marriage are considered joint property. “I’m not even asking for much—just half. If you don’t give it to me, I’ll file a lawsuit and have the court freeze your assets. I’ll get my share either way," Victor replied smugly.Looking at his familiar yet completely unrecognizable face, Slyvia felt a deep ache in her chest."So that’s why you married me?"Had he never truly cared for her at all?"Of course. Why else would I marry a divorced woman and raise her kid? You think I’m some kind of fool?"Now that things had come to this, Victor dropped all pretenses. "And let’s not forget, y

    "This is a divorce agreement. As long as you agree to divorce my mother and leave with nothing, I’ll help your nephew get a shot at redemption."Victor’s eyes widened, and his face instantly darkened.He forced himself to stay calm. "Suzy, don’t joke about something like this. You know full well how close your mother and I are. “We’ve been married for decades—we’ve stood by each other all this time. How could I possibly abandon her when she’s unconscious and ill? I won’t divorce her."He spoke with conviction.But Suzy let out a cold laugh. "It’s not the marriage you can’t let go of; it’s the Walsh family fortune, isn’t it?""How can you say that? I’ve never cared about money—it’s just material stuff to me."Victor tried to keep up the act, but Suzy cut him off sharply. "Save it. Either sign this agreement and I’ll get Xavier Reed to help your nephew—have you heard of him? He’s a legend in the legal world. He’s Stellar’s friend and will do me this favor.“Or let Aiden rot in prison

    Suzy, however, smiled. "I know. That’s why I won’t give him the chance."Now that Aiden had been dealt with and his company’s illegal dealings were bound to be investigated and shut down,Victor had lost his strongest support.With no standing left in the company, it was time to eliminate him too.Seeing that she already had a plan in mind, Stellar no longer felt worried."Alright, it’s getting late. Let’s go eat!"The two of them linked arms and left the company. After meeting up with Julian, they headed to a restaurant for dinner.Over the meal, the three of them discussed the script for Burning Moonlight, talking at length about the character dynamics and plot development, the conversation stretching on for over an hour with no signs of boredom.After they finished eating, she got up to use the restroom.Just as she was about to step out of the stall, she suddenly heard a woman shouting outside in a shrill, furious voice, "Victor! You sent my son to prison. Don’t you think you shou

    The executives were stunned as they stared at the evidence projected on the screen.Even with all the internal rivalries they had, it had never gone beyond competing for projects or shares within the company.But Aiden had taken it to another level—using company resources to start his own firm.That was unbelievably bold."I..." A flicker of shock and guilt flashed across Aiden's eyes. He hadn't expected her investigation to go this far.Still, he’d prepared himself for this possibility and quickly tried to defend himself. "Miss Walsh, you can joke over a meal, but you can't throw out baseless accusations. “The company I founded was built entirely with money I earned over the years and connections I cultivated myself. I never used anything from the Walsh Group."It would be hard to charge him with anything based on that.There was no direct evidence he had tapped into the Walsh Group’s funds, assets, or staff, nor had he accessed any confidential information. Legally, his actions

    "They're too busy trying to protect themselves now. Besides, with Julian looking out for me, what could possibly happen?" Suzy’s eyes gleamed with unshakable confidence.Stellar felt genuinely happy for her. "Sounds like you really trust my uncle now. You two seem to be doing great."Suzy shrugged playfully. "I mean, we’re doing alright."But the way her smile lingered and the glow in her expression betrayed her true feelings.Julian walked over and greeted them casually.Once the three of them were in the car, Stellar finally couldn’t hold back her curiosity. "Uncle Julian, what was that ‘surprise’ you mentioned yesterday?"Before he could answer, Suzy chimed in with a playful glint in her eye. "Stellar, what if I told you… I’m going to play the lead in Burning Moonlight—would you be okay with that?"Stellar’s eyes widened in disbelief as she grabbed Suzy’s hand. "Suzy, you’re coming back?""Yeah," Suzy nodded. "After thinking it over these past weeks, I realized I really do love a

    "That’s right. Suzy told me to congratulate you too," Julian said, his voice tinged with unmistakable warmth.Stellar didn’t even need to ask—clearly, things between them were going well."Thank you. But Uncle Julian, I doubt this call was just to congratulate me, right?""You really don’t let anything slip past you." Julian chuckled. "I’m working on a new script and wanted your opinion on it."Stellar raised a curious brow. "What’s the script?""Burning Moonlight."The moment he said the title, Stellar looked surprised. "Isn’t that the title of my new book? Uncle Julian, you read it?"She had recently started a new novel—a short piece, just over 100,000 words—about female growth and self-realization.She hadn’t expected to hear it mentioned by her genius director uncle."A story that good deserves to be brought to life, doesn’t it?" Julian said with a smile in his voice. "The moment I finished it, I knew I wanted to turn it into a film. I even have a cast in mind. The only thing I ne
